Almost every news agency is choosing to leave this pig's name out of their reporting. Roy Alatorre joined the Pasadena Police Department in May 2021. If anyone else had shot a pig, their name and face would be plastered on every mention of the incident

Karmelo Anthony and #CyrusCarmackBelton remind us that the whole system is guilty…and not just in South Carolina and Texas. It’s also right here in Los Angeles. We must #FireMcDonnell (LAPD Chief) and say #ByeNathan (LA County DA). Here’s how and why…

Very important to point out that he did not achieve this by increasing policing. Right wingers have no answer to this

[#BlackLivesMatter-LA @BLMLA]

It just came out in the LA Times that LAPD is rife when police gangs. Without a doubt Chief McDonnell knows and may even be a part of them. Yet another reason to fire him. SIGN THE PETITION TO FIRE LAPD CHIEF MCDONNELL!

Last Saturday, I was blessed to join hundreds in paying tribute to Mama Assata Shakur...

LAPD gangs confirmed in at least two divisions. Another reason to #FireMcDonnell…

There will never be another Andrew Joseph. We lost a real one. We plan to lay his body to rest on Saturday and honor his spirit always.

Reminder…
NO BLMLA MONTHLY MEETING TODAY…
Let’s give mamas some love and come out to organize for justice next Sunday instead.

As they kill Black #VotingRights and representation in this country, there are House Negroes who help #JimCrow along.

[LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia @lacontroller]

Performance Audits are NEEDED on ALL City programs, no matter where they're under (elected officials or departments). If not, hundreds of millions of dollars go unchecked.

These audits help programs perform more efficiently & effectively, and most importantly, save tax dollars.

[Melina Abdullah @DocMellyMel]

What would I do if we were free…
I wouldn’t have to roll on lying politicians like @CityAttorneyLA Hydee Feldstein Soto or deal with the not-so-thinly-veiled threats of the punk-ass popo.
If I could, I’d be a birder.

Demanding that LA Police Commission #FireChiefMcDonnell for his:
- Collusion with ICE
- Condoning the brutalization of protestors by cops.
- Refusal to arrest ICE agent Bryan Palacios for the murder of #KeithPorter.
- Being an asshole.
SIGN THE PETITION!
